8 Comments to “Cutting the cake brain puzzle”

you cut it into four slices first, right? then you make a cut across the entire cake holding the knife horizontally….in other words, make a top slice and a bottom slice, thus turning the previous four slices into eight…imagine holding the cake sideways…and cutting down the side.

Logic dictates this cake is frosted, since it’s a birthday cake, and the challenge is to cut it into equal pieces.
“Equal”, although a relative term, would indicate each piece is equal in every way.
The cutting methods described do not give equally frosted piece, so the puzzle is in error, or someone made an unfrosted cake and is claiming it to be a birthday cake.
Flawed puzzle.
